Abstract

Several statistical properties of the Coon-Baker-Yu (CBY) q-oscillator algebra are discussed. Particular emphasis is given to a careful derivation of second quantized particle statistics obtained via the CBY q-oscillator. It is outlined that, beside other limiting cases, the limit q = 0 of the CBY q-oscillator gives the Cuntz oscillator and the Fock space properties of both of these oscillators lead to various interesting results.
